In the modern world of social media, the actors are supposed to be their own publicity team...THIS SATURDAY:
Making sense of Social Media.
The question is: Should you be on social media? And if so, what platforms should you use?
This Saturday SAGA is hosting a workshop on how to set up and curate your social media platforms as an actor.
Aifheli Makhwanya will journey into the legalities of social media posts and the new and updated POPI-Act’s implication on the actor’s media presence. Christopher van der Westhuizen will provide tools for setting up your social media so that it is automated and reaches the correct audience.
We will dive into the legal implications of posting content, setting up platforms to build a profitable micro audience that will market you to the correct clients, what could the backlash be of certain posts, how to define your social media message and how to read your analytics correctly.
This promises to be a hands-on session providing actors with the tools necessary for building a robust, concise, and safe message on Social Media.
Date: 7 August 2021
